The old man [1]

'I died.' 

...At least, in the vision. 

Taking a deep breath, I calmed myself down and replayed everything that had happened in my mind. 

'The old man is a lunatic who doesn't like people lying to him.' 

This much became clear to me after he killed me for something like lying. Maybe he didn't even care that I lied and just wanted to kill me? 

'No, that's not it...' 

Recalling those last moments and how enraged he looked after catching me in my lie, I could tell he genuinely disliked people lying to him. 

I didn't understand why but I noted this piece of information in my mind. 

There was something more important that I needed to take note of. 

'...The tune.' 

The old man said something about the tune keeping the puppets away. 

I replayed the tune in my mind. 

It wasn't complicated. In fact, it was quite easy but... 

'Mary the little lamb?' 

"Uh...?"
